I personally find this very easy to do, and believe me I´m no expert on creating websites, I have used other website builders and this is really more simple and it looks like it also saves time.

Hi Eddie, thanks for your comments. Under normal circumstances, it’s not easy to build a website for business. But we’ve built our website builder to take the difficulty and technicality out of website building. We’re glad you’ve found our software to be as easy as we have tried to make it!

Eddie

Thanks Bob, I´m in the middle of it right now startin to create a free website, and adding the catalog is not complicated at all as I said before, and your website builder really does what is meant to do, taking off the difficulty.

all I have to say is that this is absolutely simple to do, I got my catalog up and running in no time. We all know that the product catalog is the most important thing when you build a business website, you need your clients to be able to shop and this makes it easy for them and also for you. Cheers for the post, love the website builder!

Hi John, thanks! When you create a website for business, we totally agree that it’s important to have a product catalog to display your complete product offering. If you offer services instead of products, the photo gallery still a pretty robust way to segment your services into categories and use our free website builder to display your photos for the different services you offer.

I already build a website for business including a catalog with iconosites, using this tutorial gave no trouble at all. I think this is very important for business people who use the web as a tool for marketing or that work mostly online. Great tutorial!

This is a feature I´d really like to add to my website, and from the website builders I´ve seen this is very likely to be easy to use.

Is there a way to build a business website and add two to four catalogs on the same page for different types of products? or is it better to create one catalog with four parts?

Hi in my experience you should try to make it as easy as you can for your buyers, so if you think that setting the design in the same page will give your visitors an easier way to browse at the catalog then that is the way to go, really is up to what you have in your business website and how extense the list of products is.

I think the best way to do it is to build a business website with the least number of catalogs and to include only the main things, if you offer too many things and show them all people will take too long and they´ll have a hard time making up their minds, well some of them maybe, but as far as I know simple things work better.

I´m trying to build a free website and was thinking of adding a gallery to it, but since there is this tool that can make my life easier on adding a catalog instead, then I´ll definitely try it cause it gives me the chance to include more individual information about my products.
